Just bear in mind that trips to Maui involve 'discretionary' funds...A few more things to think about during your due diligence. 1.

If you’re itemizing your deductions, another great strategy is making a strategic donation to a charity or organization you believe in, like your favorite nonprofit or your church.

I would encourage you to take a trip to the market you plan to invest in and tour some houses in the neighborhoods that you are looking at. 

I flew out to team build a few times, but now operate a full business that does about 50-60 properties per year with about 1 trip a year just to schmooze.

My favorite approach is attending networking events since they offer a great mix of agents and professionals. 

I formed a partnership with my favorite people (my parents and my two adult children).

One of my favorite strategies is the refi cash out strategy.

Day trips to the lakes versus overnights makes a lot of sense.

Starting it and developing your vision is one of my favorite parts (probably my favorite actually lol).
